There is some irony in rolling hard comments. Just some fun chat...Ha... Not in my experience. Agree with the exaggerated!
Yes everybody needs to be able to hit. From that we can conclude that there will be more runners on base. Which means catchers pop times are more important to throw those runners out!
Let me say "back-pics" right now....
Plus pass balls advance runners.
Included scoring on pass balls.
Hmmm trained catcher sounds real good now.
Generally have noticed teams carry more catchers than they do any infield position except pitcher. Many colleges will carry four minimum catchers on the roster at any given time.
Some just for bullpen.
Some extra pitchers for bp.
I think it's a very general statement to say if you're the best hitter on the roster they will find a place for you on the field. Not always. Really it is, the best hitter will find a place in the lineup.
Catching is considered a technical position. How often do we hear ss & 2nd referred to as middle infielders. And 3rd and 1st baseman as corners?!
Does that happen to give more relevance to their abilities to play another position?
AKA more opportunity to be out on the field.
Just saying....a catcher who's trained at catching can also play somewhere's else!
